ComradeMezhlauk and Comrade VoroshilovKharkov

Areply cannot be given before contacting Trotsky, whom
Sklyansky is informing by telegraph.

Iconfirm that reinforcements must be given to the
troops of the Southern Front without waiting for uniforms
or arms, as our Southern Front will see to that. I have
many times pointed out the catastrophic urgency of this
matter, but from you I have no exact information on the
actual number of reinforcements supplied by you to the
Southern Front.
